ZONING OF PHYTOGENEOUS FIELDS OF THE COMMON PINE (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) TREES GROWING ON REFORESTATION SITES OF KEDROVSKY COAL MINE

Abstract

The paper provides the results of the research into the influence of pine forestry trees on the adjacent space in a dump of overburden rocks. Essential influence of trees on the distribution of a forest laying, subgrowth, moss cover and the general projective covering of herbage depending on remoteness from the trunk is established. The space influenced by a tree is its phytogeneous field. The three-zone structure of a phytogeneous field with allocation of under-tree, neartree and external zones is defined. Characteristic features of the ground cover for each zone are defined. Indicator dominant species for each zone are revealed.
